The screen is too large but if it's better implemented into the dashboard I’d argue that this is what a modern Mustang could look like. The steering wheel looks much sleeker than that one in the Raptor and I can easily imagine a sportier version of it for the Mustang. Besides, it has a rotary...

I hope it doesn’t as I would hope for a horizontal screen and Sync+ 2.0 rather than Sync 4 from the Mach-E. I tried an early Sync 4 Mach-e and didn’t really like it. It felt like an unrefined mix between Sync 3 and Tesla’s software… Maybe it was just the vertical screen or the missing buttons...

You did miss out on reading 'these days' - meaning modern platforms ;) D2C is simply to old to be modular. It was built for the Mustang and as such it was built around the requirements of a 2005 car again, if we consider the D2C as a new platform. Modern platforms share modular designs and as...

Maybe we (EU) get the hybrid first? Maybe they can't sell a NA V8 here anymore and their only option is the hybrid, hence the EU mirrors...🤷‍♂️

The M340i always has xdrive as every sporty car should have that cares about performance. RWD is not competitive unless you have some prepped surfaces and such. So let’s stick to the real world. The page I quoted was just one out of several that have similar results: A M340i beats a Mustang GT...

Compared to old cars that is a reasonable time. Compared to modern cars that's slow and I'm not talking EV's... According to https://www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle-make/bmw-0-60-mph-times/ A GT with PP2 does 0-60 in about 4.2 seconds, a Bullit in 4.3 or 4.4 seconds. That is a 2+2 seater with...

You are right and I think that Ford did a reasonable job on updating D2C but I do think that it feels old. Yes, it drives well but apart from that everything else feels outdated. 0-60 is ridiculously slow for a 450hp car, it is quite heavy and they couldn’t even find a way to install both, lane...

I don't think you guys understand how a platform works... CD6 would’ve been an amazing platform as it would have enabled a lot of features to be added. Just because an SUV is built on a platform doesn’t mean a performance car cannot be built on it… Platforms these days a modular an can handle a...

Not based on CD6 at all according to @amk91 ... You can read several threads where that information is shared. The S650 should have been a CD6 car but James Hackett canceled the whole program. S650 should have been a whole new car with a whole new platform (CD6) but thanks to Hackett S650 will...

Every modern infotainment system has something that is called "night mode" or so. It's like the dark mode on Android and it works quite well. Reduced brightness and dark colours. Good visibility at night but not too bright to get flashed ;)

One can’t see much on this one but I wouldn’t be surprised if the S650 would have some sort of “Ford Evos” dashboard with it’s 12.3 + 27-inch screen or something like that… In the Evos the screens are much better integrated into the dash than in the new BMW i4/M3 Touring or the next LCI. One...

These side mirrors won't make into the EU market... I hope that that's the only thing that needs to be changed but I doubt it... It looks almost exactly like a S550 regarding the silhouette... However, the headlights are new... I suppose that they're finally going all in on LEDs ;)

But then again how many people track their car regularly? People who buy Mustangs in the EU are primarily interested in cruising around. Nobody cares about drag races here and tracking a standard Mustang GT isn’t a good thing either. Maybe with PP2 but there are still better options on the...

I don't think that Ford can sell a 500hp car without electrification in the EU in 2023 onwards. They already told us that every car sold will be either a hybrid or a full EV comes 2026. Unfortunately I have a feeling that the “next gen Coyote” will only be a mild refresh version with <500hp –...

I'm pretty sure that sound generators or even massive speakers will be built on the outside of cars in order to generate emotions especially for bystanders. It will not satisfy any purists but the average Joe will be convinced. There are already concept cars that have speakers at the rear apron...

I don't see the point in this... The fun in shifting is not based purely on pulling and pushing a stick... I like pushing the clutch and I would miss it. Might as well buy an AT then... I have pedal shifters on my steering wheel... It's just a 'nice to have' feature and nowhere near a proper MT...

I think I saw it on Ford Authority a couple of days ago.

Well, it's supposed to be an EV - hence no need to cool the engine... A NA V8 can't look like that unless Ford finds another creative way for air to enter the intercooler... The tail just looks awful… like a friendly neighborhood sedan… I’ll bet that the S650 will look more aggressive...

Honestly, I wasn't sure if it was just me but I'm glad he's gone. "A real charmer" indeed 😉 This "Thank you" cannot be emphasized enough.

If that would be the case the S650 would be almost DOA. That Mach 1 has to be the bar. If they aim for anything lower than that they can keep it. In other words: a S650 with mild improvements wouldn't be worth calling S650. I"m extremely curious what the S650 will be like but on the same
